The extraction has failed
Extraction of the backup archive has failed.
The last error message was:
The file is not a JPA archive

I also get this when I try to restore with kickstart.php.
I checked the file size it matches what I ended up with after downloading
i downloaded via cpanel to my PC

i used file mozilla to upload to a new server with new database

When i ask Alice to check it she returns this
The following files are too big and can cause backup issues:
File: SH404-updates.zip 13.39 Mb
File: images/slider48.zip 10.95 Mb
Possible solution: Please try excluding these files using the Files and Directories Exclusion feature or delete them if you are sure you don't need them on your site.
Sh404 i suppose i could omit and then rebuild after
that image file definitely needs to be optimized

Even the log file is huge
"Your log file is 43.57 Mb big. "
It is attached
